Yakisoba Stir-Fry w/Chick & Brocc

This was a very good meal which I got from Culinary Kicks. Joe really enjoyed it and he said it was like a mix between Chinese and Japanese.

Ingredients

3 tbs hoisin sauce

2 tbs black soy sauce (I used regular soy sauce)

1 tbs Chinese chili bean paste (I used chili garlic sauce)

1/2 tbs brown sugar

1 tbs sesame oil

1 tbs minced garlic

1 tbs minced or grated ginger (I used 1/2 tbs ground ginger)

1 bunch broccoli

2 chicken breast sliced for stir fry

2 bunches of green onion cut up

1 (32oz) package of yakisoba noodles.

The noodles come compressed together and it can be hard to separate- I dunked them in boiling water and pulled them apart with two spoons. I let them boil for a little bi t just to cook them a little bit as they will cook when I stir fry them. Set them aside for later use.

Mix the sauce mix by combining the hoisin, soy sauce, chili bean paste, brown sugar and sesame oil. Mix well to dissolve the sugar. Set aside for later use.

Heat a wok over high heat. Add a splash of oil (about 2 tbs). Add the garlic and the ginger and fry for 10 sec. Add the chicken and then the broccoli. Stir fry for about 3 minutes or until the chicken is almost done. Add the drained noodles and stir fry until everything is well mixed. Add the sauce mix and contine to stir fry until all the noodles are coated with the sauce. Turn off the heat and throw in the green onions. Serve immediately. Culinary kickes advises to serve noodles with fish sauce, lime wedges and sambal oelek on the side for extra seasoning ( I did not feel you needed to do this as it was already delicious)
